In Court; Third
Arrest Expected
Harry Warren Stumbo, 34,
of Wolf Creek, was arraigned
this morning In circuit court
on a charge of willfully and
maliciously setting fire to for
est land.
Judge James M. Main con
tinued the case until 9:30 a.m.,
Aug. 13 for Stumbo to answer
the charge and enter a plea.
District Attorney Alan B.
Holmes said today that al
least one more arrest was ex
pected in connection with the
grand jury investigation of ap
proximately 12 road-side fires
in Josephine and Jackson
counties July 16.
Claude Walter Chase, 41, of
Central Point was arraigned
last week on a similar charge.
His case also was continued
until Aug. 13. Both men were
arraigned on grand jury secret
indictments returned July 30.
They are both free on $3,500
bail each.
Deny Implication
Robert A. Boyer, Medford
lawyer, representing the men,
said in a statement today that
his clients have denied any
implication in the fires. He
added they had no idea what
circumstances may have indi
cated that they were involved,
but that they intended to
clear the matter up just as
soon as possible.
Boyer said the families of
both men have been beset by
telephone calls and messages
from well wishers and friends
and "both indicated a deep
gratification for the many peo
ple who have expressed their
conviction in the innocence of
both men."
The lawyer stated that he
had no idea of the evidence
presented to the grand jury,
but that thus far neither of
the defendants had appeared

Railroads
To Adopt
Chicago - IUPI) - The nation's
railroads announced today
they are withdrawing compli
ance with a presidential com
m i s s i o n's "antifeatherbed
ding" recommendations and
will put stricter work rules
changes into effect Aug. 16.
Railroad attorney Howard
Neitzert announced the dra
matic shift in strategy at the
close of a hearing in U.S. Dis
trict Court. The hearing was
on a petition by five on-train
brotherhoods for an injunc
tion barring the roads from
putting the presidential com
mission's recommendations in
to operation Aug. 16.
The railroads said they
were serving notice that they
would put into effect their
original demands of Nov. 2.
1059, which called for wide
spread elimination of fire
men's jobs on the railroads
and which also called for
longer runs by rail employees.
The announcement appear
ed likely to throw the case
out of the federal courts and
pave the way for appointment
of a presidential emergency
board to head off a crippling
nation-wide rail strike.
The on-train brotherhoods
represent 200.000 rail work
ers. Even under the presiden

dations, the jobs of 41,000 fire-
men would eventually be
eliminated. The Nov. 2 de

ing the firemen's jobs, would
give the railroads wide power
over how and when employees
could be used
James E. Wolfe, chief nego
tiator for the railroads, said
labor secrtary Arthur J. Gold
berg had told the unions the
administration intended to
"exhaust every means under
the Railway Labor Act to
avoid a catastrophic strike."
The union move was the
latest skirmish in a three-year
battle that has involved . the
White House and poised the
threat of a nationwide rail
strike for the first time since
the 1940s.

The British government has

The Israeli cabinet told the
airline Sunday not to obey the
order.
"We are prepared to take

the British government of the
problem," said an Israeli Em
bassy spokesman. "But once
back in Israel he would have
to look for a country to go

A Home Office spokesman,
commenting on the Israelis'
statements, said Britain had
ordered El Al to put Soblen
on an America-bound plane
and the airline had to comply.
"That is the direction," the

If the direction is disobey
ed, he said, "we shall have to
wait and see."
The spokesman added that
El Al did not necessarily have
to fly Soblen to the United
States. All it was ordeied to
do was to make the necessary
arrangements.
A member of the British
Parliament, who had petition
ed the government in Soblen's
behalf, reported last week
that Czechoslovakia had of
fered to grant Soblen a visa
to enter there. This never has
been officially' conformed or
denied, however.
El Al has been instructed
by the Israeli cabjnel to fly
Soblen back to Israel if Bri

Wile, Daughter
Goodbye for Trip
Washington' - IUPI) - Presi
dent Kennedy returned to the
White House today from an
other week end of relaxation
on Cape Cod after bidding
his wife and daughter good
bye prior to their departure
for a pleasure trip to Italy.
Mrs. Kennedy, after vaca
tioning several weeks at Hy-
annis Port, planned to fly to
New York later today. Daugh
ter Caroline, 4, will join her
there Tuesday a few hours be
fore they take off for two
weeks on Italy's scenic Amal
fi Coast. John F. Kennedy
Jr., 1, will spend the two
weeks with his maternal
grandmother, Mrs. Hugh D.
Auchincloss. at Newport. R.I.
In one of his first official
acts of the week, Kennedy
was expected to send to the
Senate his nomination of two
new members of the Atomic

motion picture industry, was
by. There were ho notes.
However, authorities point
ed out that notes are left in
less than 40 per cent of sui
cide cases.
The ' team of psychiatrists
said they were trying to learn
if the apparent overdose of
drugs that killed the screen
beauty was taken on purpose
or accidentally. .
However, Dr. Theodore J.
Curphey, Los Angeles county
coroner, said flatly that Miss
Monroe's death "definitely
was not from natural causes."
Curphey said that "on the
surface" the death of the ac
tress "might appear' to be
suicide."
Curphey added that a toxl-
co logical examination was
under way to identify the
death drug, believed to be
nembutal (sleeping pills) and
to determine the alcoholic
content of Miss Monroe's
blood.
Meanwhile, the star's half
sister, Mrs. Bernice Miracle,
Gainesville, Fla., sent word
she planned to come to Los
Angeles as soon as possible.
She asked that Marilyn's
former husband, Joe DiMag
gio, and the star's attorney,
Milton Rudln, begin making
funeral arrangements.

Services for Miss Monroe
are tentatively scheduled for
Wednesday afternoon at West

el in West Los Angeles.
Miss Monroe's body was
discovered by her psychia
trist, Dr. Ralph Grcenson,
who used a fireplace poker to
smash through the bedroom
window shortly after 3 a.m.
Sunday. Saturday evening she
had called her psychiatrist to
complain that she could nut

High Altitude
Blast Touched Off
In Arctic Region
40-Megaton
Force Estimated
Moscow fUPD The Soviet
Union resumed nuclear test
ing Sunday with a tremendous
high - altitude explosion near
the Arctic island of Novaya
Zemlaya but the Russian peo
ple were not told about it
through their newspapers and
radios.
The scismological institute
at Uppsala. Sweden, estimated
the force in the range of 40
megatons - equivalent of 40
million tons of TNT - making
it probably the second most
powerful explosion ever set
off.
Anniversary Observed
But today Soviet news out
lets concentrated on the first
anniversary of the 17 orbit
flight of Soviet cosmonaut
Gherman Titov and sang the
praises of Russia's explora
tion into space for "exclusive
ly peaceful purposes."
At the same tune the Soviet
Communist party newspaper
Pravda denounced "enemies
of peace . . . trying to turn
outer space into an arena of
aggression."
"Is it not time that this is
proved by the explosions
staged in outer space by
American atom mongers?"
Pravda asked.
The only explosion to ex
ceed Sunday's test in force
was Russia's giant blast last
fall which was estimated at
over 50 megatons. That blast
occurred during the Soviet
series that broke the three
year East West moratorium
on testing.
As with previous tests,
Kremlin leaders made no an
nouncement of Sunday's re
sumption of testing. Russians
in the streets first learned of
the blast from Western cor
respondents. The. U.; S. Atomic Energy
Commission in Washington re
ported the explosion but gave
no details.
The start of the new Soviet
series, forecast by Kremlin
leaders for several weeks,
came as delegates to the 17
natlon disarmament confer
ence in Geneva settled down
for further negotiations on a
test ban treaty.
Premier Niklta S. Khrush
chev and other Soviet leaders
have contended that Russia
was forced into new tests be
cause of the American tests
in the Pacific started last
April.
